That would be my mrs old car!! loved it. (l) One of the very first proper ones.. built 9yrs ago by blaupunkt as a demo car for thier new range of seethru speakers with coloured lights behind. full leather/alcantara interior, lightened body, full engine tune, polybushed and lowered.. great car that was. Lives near burnley now.. :-( -

Coilover help needed desperately!

u need to drop an allen key in the top of middle of the top not and undo the nut with an open ended swan neck spanner if u have no access to an air gun... or a set of mole grips on the shock arm(bright siler 8mm thick) in the wheel arch. tony -
First try at polishing....
supadupagt4 replied to supadupagt4's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
took me about 6hrs to do this one.. my first try.. but the second one took half that because if what u learnt on the first.. start with 400grit... then 600,800,1200,2000,2500 then polish.. a chore but worth it. tony -

i used a polishing kit off ebay and a drill sanding pad with various grade sanding discs. tony -
Think i did quite a good job for my first go.. got a bit of a 'haze' on the shine though.. not a true mirror finish yet. ;-) tony
